## Description
_Catastrophes_ is a single screen building game where you must carry bricks
with a helicopter one at a time from a barge and place them on an island to
build a hotel as high as you can. You must try to get the highest score you
can over six days and each day is shown by the sun moving from east to west
across the top of the screen. Every time you place a new storey then you
receive a point and as you build you are competing against the computer or a
second player who are building at the same time. As each day progresses there
are a couple of natural disasters that occur with the first two being a flood
and an earthquake which removes bricks for a short space of time. As the days
progress then storm winds and lightning can also occur and a plane keeps
flying across the screen, and if touched carrying a brick then you lose the
brick. The game is over once the six days are over but even if you can’t build
anymore on an earlier day the game keeps playing. If you leave the joystick
alone then after a certain time the computer takes over but you receive no
score.
